It’s Shaun’s World

I’m beginning to think I’m that female family member who takes care of everyone when they’re sick. You know, the older auntie in the family everyone calls on whenever there’s a need for someone to sit with the sick and shut-in. I think I’m that person.

Thinking back, it didn’t recently start with my parents getting older and their health declining. It began ages ago. I’ve always been the person who doesn’t panic under pressure. The person who’s not afraid of blood. The person who makes sure others remain calm while the nurses or doctors perform their job. The person who’s had to deliver bad news to family members. I’ve been the end-of-life person.

I used to ask, “God, why me?”

I’m beginning to come to terms with the fact that this is part of my purpose. I’m a nurturer and caregiver. It’s who I was created to be.

Blessed to be a blessing.♥️

Which comes first, the journey or the experience?

For me, it’s a little of both, but mostly the journey happens first, which leads to the experiences.

How about you?♥️

This picture was taken months ago. It’s where I want to be.

I need to see the water.

I need to feel the breeze.

I need to hear the waves.

I just need to be.♥️

–Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

Not my plan, but God’s.

I really didn’t feel like posting this morning. I’m exhausted—physically, mentally, and spiritually (just being honest). I need to take a break, but I’m not sure how. Disconnecting helps to some extent, but not fully. It’s time for a reset so I can fully recharge.

Today is Day 1794 of posting daily. I believe I’ll take my break after Day 1800. It’s time.

However, as the old folks used to say, “Lord’s willing.” Meaning, if it’s in God’s will. We shall see. Because at the end of the day, it’s about God’s will and plan, not mine. And I trust God. He will never not give me what I need to either keep going or a proper way to end my streak of posting daily.

Again, we shall see what happens.

Wishing you a wonderful day and beautiful week. Please enjoy every moment!♥️

I love you,

Today we’re celebrating my dad’s 74th birthday. So far, he’s enjoying his day!

When I think of my dad, the first things that come to mind are:

Strength

Determination

Provider

Strong-willed (he’s a tad bit stubborn)

but

Humble

I’m so grateful and blessed that God placed Alton Sutton in my life. I am who I am because of him.♥️
